Olive Oil, Liquid Gold … Health and Longevity

Consumption of olive oil is scientifically proven and undeniably beneficial for the body.

Quality olive oil:

• Increases the “good” cholesterol and decreases the “bad”, balancing the lipid system.
• Acts greatly against the formation of fat deposits in arteries helping prevent Coronary artery disease and Myocardial Infarction commonly known as heart attack.
• Decreases blood pressure and helps with hypertension.
• Contributes indirectly in child age bone and brain growth since it helps the body assimilate calcium.
• Smooths out the aging process because it contains Vitamin E.
• Reinforces the digestive system reducing the chance of Gastritis or Peptic Ulcer Disease.
• Acts as a balancing agent on a diabetic diet.
• Contains Oleic acid which protects cells and DNA from alterations that could lead to cancer.
• Helps prevent Alzheimer disease because the oleocanthal assists in removing abnormal proteins that cause the disease.
• Prevents Rheumatoid arthritis / Osteoporosis

All the above are made possible thanks to the unique ingredients of olive oil.

• Oleocanthal
• Oleosin
• Oleuropein
• Ligkstosinis

Only Greek olive oil contains Oleocanthal, a compound that has anti – inflammatory, antioxidant, heart- protective and neuroprotective capabilities. Greece is globally the leading force in the production of extra virgin olive oil, thanks to our soil and Mediterranean climate.

The journey of olive oil begins millennia ago and continues till today…
